NOTE:

Before you configure the IP address, make sure that the NAS system is connected to the network.

To configure the IP address, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the NAS Manager.

2. Click Network, and then click Interfaces.

3. Select the radio button beside the network connection that you want to configure.

NOTE:

If some of the text is missing due to column width, pass your cursor over the text in the column to see a

pop-up window with a full description.

4. Click IP, and select Use the following IP settings.

5. Enter the desired IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

If you do not have this information, contact your system administrator.

6. Click OK.

The network address setup is complete.

NOTE:

When you change the IP address, you may be unable to access the NAS Manager until you reboot the

NAS system, or for approximately 15 minutes until the network recognizes the new IP address. You can also try

to access the NAS system by typing http://new_ip_address in the NAS Manager.

Changing the Administrator Password

1. Log in to the NAS Manager.

2. Click Network and click Administrator.

3. Enter the current user name and password.

4. Enter the new password in the New password box.

The password must be at least six characters and cannot be blank.

5. Enter the new password again in the Confirm new password box.

6. Click OK.

NOTE:

If you receive the error message stating that the password cannot be changed for this domain account or

that the account name cannot be changed for this domain account when trying to change the administrator

password or account name, you are logged on as a domain user. You must be logged on as the server

administrator to change the administrator password.

Creating Users

network properties of your NAS system.
